A view may also be defined as custom-tailored (data presented to meet requirement) presentation of data from more than one table 
A view is stored inside the database as a select query. 
It does not have any data of its own but it only fetches data from base tables by executing the query written at the time of its creation

View is a layer(not absolute) of the table. It does not really contains any data,it logically contains data. So view is also called as logical table. It hides the names of table and columns and also hides that how it is executing the statement from base table.
Tables on which view is based are called as based tables.
After creating a view, user contact the view then view contact table
If you delete the view then the base table does not effect
